Alli's running blog

Making my comeback on the blog here. 45ish minutes today just getting back into shape. Not a very newsworthy run.

Temple quarry, long jump squad went 40 today (along with everyone else). Nice run at a easy pace cause idk why I think everyone was tired from yesterday. I felt pretty dang good though. It was fun to reacquaint!

I went for a run to green spring while everyone else did a workout. I think I went 40. Running by myself can be stressful, too much thinking ah. I definitely need to retire pretty much all my pairs of shoes, dang. 

Had an interview so I didn't have the option of going the whole minutes, idk if I would've though lolz. 35, was planning on going 40 but the way back was very quicker. I felt really good & had a deep discussion with Roberts regarding literature, Mia's new boyfriend & sleeping through his class, oops.

Idk how far I went 7 sounds about right though, may be overestimating myself a bit. 20 warm up, me & Roberts got talking about Catch-22, the book I'm trying to convince him to let us read next for lit, & ended up going like 7:50 pace lol. Then 15 minutes tempo. The time I "should've" been hitting was 8:00 pace but I just went with the varsity girls instead (like 7:25ish I think?). I entertained them all with my stories, very beneficial for everyone. Then i ran with jos around the track backwards for a bit. Then cool down, total of probably 15ish minutes. I had a nice talk with Roberts during that too. We just get talking & start crusing, it's a curse truly. 

Suicidal tendencies, 50 minutes. I ran 20 out with the team but just couldn't hang so I turned back early & added on to get to 50. I utilized all this time to think A LOT. My life is really good right now

20 min warm up at approximately 4:30 pace, just kidding, but close. Then 6x60 sec half @ 7 min pace & half @ 6:40 pace, 5x30 sec @ 6:20(?), then 6x60 sec half at 6:40 & half at 7 min. Then like a lap cool down lol. The first 6 weren't awful but I could feel it that I hadn't been running as much as everyone else. The next 5 were really a struggle so I hoped out & did some laps while they did another set of 5x30s, by then I had regained some stamina & got back in for the last 6x60s. Overall a pretty good workout. On the recovery I taught everyone my "Fantastic" cheer & also rapped some ice ice baby for them. Both wildly popular. After I drove alex around trying to find his car, no luck. 

Like 20 min run then hurdle work was all I did today. I learned how to jump the hurdles real good though y'all better be prepped for me to come home as a 300 hurdles 3A state champ this May

AM- weights then 15 minutes. Almost got hit by a car cause the guy wasn't paying attention smh

PM- 20 min warm, then 20 tempo, then like 15(?) cool. It was so cold & rainy & I was like ew I don't wanna do this. Then we started & it wasn't as bad as expected, I was planning on going 15 again but decided to stay in for the next 5. Overall a pretty good solid workout, it feels like Friday.

45 minutes + striders. I spent most of my day at the hospital with my dad because he just got surgery so it actually felt really good to get out there. It was absolutely freezing though. My hands & legs were numb. & very very rainy. It was fun though & the first time since break I've ran the whole minutes on a run #goals

ALSO I NEED NEW SHOES

50 minutes. The wind was miserable. At one point it was completely sunny but just pelting us with rain & dirt, I don't even know where the rain was coming from there was no clouds. I should've gone farther, I don't know why I didn't. I felt fine & we weren't even going that fast. Learning experience I guess. I need to stick these (especially the long) runs out better. It's just kinda whatever these days.

AM- weights + 15 minutes. Squats & bench, getting buff

PM- 45 minute run @ Dino cliffs. I wore a tank top while everyone else was wearing jackets lol whoops. Was quite cold. But a very very good run!! I felt extremely good, my legs were tired but VERY GOOD RUN

15 min warm, then 3(60 sec) @ 7 min pace, 3(60 sec) @ 6:40 pace, 5(60 sec) @ 6:20 pace, 3(60) @ 6:40 & 3(60) @ 7. This workout isn't too bad, especially now that I'm starting to get back in shape, but it definitely pushes me mentally. Which is good, I need a good push every once in a while. After the boys basketball game & we lost but it was so close): 

PM- 35 minutes + 5 minutes of striders/hurdling. My legs were SO beat today, also I found out I'm not flexible enough for practically everything, so we have to work on that, folks. But Brianna sent me a 5 min video of hurdle drills with some jazzy music so we're gonna get things on the road 

20 min warm then tempo!!!! Going into it I felt fine but the first 10-15 minutes were rough. I wanted to drop out at 15, but I kept telling myself "you have to at least make it to 20 cause good grief alli" then when we got to 20 I was feeling A LOT better & decided to push it to 25, then at 25 I was still talking with the team & I was like alright alright alright if you can talk you have to keep running. So I ended with the team at 28 minutes. Overall it was a good good tempo that was a good confidence builder/mental battle. 9/10 would recommend 

I am sick. No running/no school. It feels like someone is slicing my throat open with a knife and moving my eyes from anywhere but straight hurts like he*k. BUT I TOOK MY MATH TEST AND DID SO GOOD. I'm literally the proudest. Also the bachelor tonight was wild, absolutely blindsided me. 10/10 would recommend watching next weeks episode cause it's gonna be lit. AnywY, yeah back to running tomorrow. Roll tide y'all 

Mustang pass, 35 min. 

Yikes. I went into this run thinking I was exactly where I was on Friday, that wasn't true. I couldn't even keep up with the group. I blame the sickness, I'll get things back on track tomorrow. I'm mostly feeling better it's just my dang cough & throat is really struggling. I even drugged up right before the run to keep the pain out of my head & eyes & they both felt fine. Whatevs
